Story

<p>Two and a half years ago, Keswick Mountain Rescue Team were instrumental in saving my life after a mountaineering accident. Without their fast actions and incredible skill I wouldn't have survived.</p> <p>During a mountain marathon I slipped and fell 150m down the side of Blencathra in the Lake District suffering multiple complex injuries. After the rescue by Keswick MRT I spent two years in rehab and am now able to repay some of the debt I owe them.</p> <p>This year I'll compete in&nbsp;three events:</p> <p>Dorney Lake Duathlon - 6 March (5k run, 20k bike, 5k run)</p> <p>London Triathlon - 31 July (1.5k swim, 40k bike, 10k run)</p> <p>Great North run - 18 September (Half marathon)</p> <p>I raised over &pound;1500 last year with my three event series, this year I'm aiming to raise a further &pound;1000. Anything you can donate will be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>Simon</p>
